She’s not just protecting a project. She’s protecting her heart.
Lainey Harper is a dedicated historic preservation specialist with one goal: to restore a once-thriving historic district to its former glory. However, her ambitious project and safety take a dangerous turn when a string of suspicious break-ins threatens everything she’s worked for.
Already burned by a former business partner’s betrayal, she’s wary of trusting anyone—especially Finn Ryder, the man who walked out of her life and left her with more than just memories.
Finn Ryder, an ex-SEAL now working for the Brotherhood Alliance, is assigned to investigate the vandalism plaguing the project and protect the consultant. He’s shocked to discover it’s Lainey, his childhood friend, and the woman he shared one unforgettable night with before his deployment eight years ago.
As the danger escalates, they uncover a sinister plot involving organized crime, money laundering, and sabotage. Forced to work together, Finn and Lainey must navigate the danger and learn to trust each other again. But as their relationship rekindles, a long-held secret threatens to tear them apart.
As the criminals grow more ruthless, Finn and Lainey must race against time to uncover the truth before everything—including their second chance at love—goes up in flames.
